Cannot root!! WTF?

Ok... so my above thread can be disregarded... I have the bootloader unlocked and I'm following the steps in the beginning of this thread to the T.

after unlocking BL, I booted up and connected phone to PC and attempted to reboot to recovery mode so i can just get root access. I am running adb reboot recovery and it reboots the device to a screen with two arrows moving clockwise and a green arrow pointing down, it them moves to a an image with a red exclamation.

I've tried removing the battery and doing it manually but get the same screen.

Any ideas?

Thank you

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Sounds like you were unsuccessful at flashing the recovery... Try using Hasoon's Toolkit

OR... if you really want to do it yourself, This is the best tutorial imho

Right Here

||Recovery||ClockworkMOD 5.5.0.4/Touch 5.8.0.9 RC2||Off-charging||
[HTC Amaze 4G] ihatepickinganame:
Tried your tutorial above and that left me with even more questions. Straight up newbie when it comes to this. :)

Funny thing, I tried Hasoons and when I hit perm root it just reboots and gets me back to a red exclamation after a few minutes. I never see it installing anything. Will check out the tut you sent... Thanks!

I get to step 4 and it reboots, I see some green arrows around a phone and then it goes red exclamation! I can't get passed step 4.. what am I missing? I have Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip copied to both internal and external storage.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Try the hard method and flash cwm 5.5.0.4 OR cwm 5.8.0.9 at the bottom of the tutorial... That's how I did it personally... Something you are doing is wrong and not flashing the recovery... And I'm starting to think your drivers/SDK aren't installed properly...
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
You need a custom recovery installed. Flash CWM. The red exclamation means you have the stock recovery on it.

[HTC Amaze 4G] ihatepickinganame:
I did not have the full SDK installed because I assumed it was installed when I loaded droid explorer the other day to try and retrieve info off of my old Vibrant that has a smashed screen.

Installed SDK and started from step 2 and this time I was able to get the recovery installed. Now, all I really want is root so when I try and install the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip, I get an error and it aborts. However, I do have superuser in my apps drawer. Does that mean I'm rooted?

Answered my own questions... :) We are rooted and grounded!

Thank you!!

Yes, I downloaded the 3 things it asked for on the htcdev site. Java, htc sync, and the sdk. Everything is in the folders ready to go, but the driver fails installing when I hook my phone to it, I tried uninstalling, re installing, on fastboot, bootloader, with the phone on and charging, usb mode, htc sync mode, and nothing. The CMD prompt just sits there waiting on the phone.

When I go to the HTCDev site and select the model, which the Amaze isn't available, I just click and download the HTC sync link below the picture to the right without having to pick a phone, is that correct, because that's what I've been doing.

[HTC Amaze 4G] pavoid:
Just making sure

I'm in the "Unlock Bootloader" segment. After downloading the SDK files the HTC site goes off onto a long trail of "dl Eclipse" "dl JDK" "run SDK installer".

Looking at the tutorial it looks like you just dl the 3 main files and then next thing you know your removing the battery and going into boot mode.

Am I suppose to veer off into this HTC "Eclipse, JDK" tangent?

Or is it not a tangent at all and this is really all that involved?

I have no experience with this so I am asking to clarify for obvious reasons.

Thank you for your help! :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Wow idk where to start.

First and foremost, make sure you have installed SDK manager and the HTC drivers. Sorry, I don't have a link for that.

Then on HTC dev, it walks you through unlocking bootloader for amaze. The instructions are rather clear there.

If its that difficult and u don't have time to learn what you're doing, I wouldn't do it. If u feel u must, then use Hasoon2000's All in One toolkit man.

---------- Post added 28th April 2012 at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 27th April 2012 at 11:36 PM ----------

It says "no driver found" So I keep uninstalling it through computer>properties>device manager, when I plug the phone to the computer it says installing drivers: Android phone. it fails every time, and shows up as android 1.0 in my device manager. I have all the prerequisites installed. I've done this a hundred times on different phones, I don't get it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Sorry I meant USB debugging.

Mount your phone as a disk drive and see if that prompts any more driver installations. You don't have all drivers installed if you're computer isn't recognizing your device. Type "adb devices" in command prompt. You should see your seriel number show up.

Do a search for HTC drivers and SDK

That's all I got

Hmmm Should I order that VERTEKS case or the Poetic one? Both look nice since they don't cover the bezel. The Poetic one looks like a weird material. I can't enlarge the photo through amazon though so I'm not sure what type of material it is.

Danny -B- Can you post photos of your TF101 poetic case? does it look like it's the same material? can you describe it? thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bso44:
I've got the same dilemma. Looks like you'd get the Poetic one faster since it's in stock while the Verteks won't be shipping out until 1/18. I'm just wondering if one is more quality than the other.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
I'll try post some pics when i get home.

The poetic case i have is for the Tf101, but its real leather not some cheap crap.

The inside is a kinda felt feel, almost like a micro fibre cloth and the ridged parts that hold the device up have a hard(possibly metal) lip so the TF sits in the position without falling.

if i installed cm6.1 or cm7.1 with the same flykernel, would anyone have an opinion as to which phone would be generally more solid/speedy?

i feel a bit frustrated by my experience with cm7.1 and all the ginger based roms, but it seems that many are wowed by the performance.

just looking for some opinons. thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notea:
i find myself in a similar situation, and am currently on the Heroine++ rom for the sake of speed, but it is quite outdated, and i've been wanting a good 2.2 rom.

anyway, from my expericen, everybody is wowed by 7.1.0 only because of how slow it used to be, it really has come a long way since GB for hit our heros, but it is still a tiny bit too slow and laggy for my liking, and i had some issues with the in call UI not responding fast enough, so i couldn't always answer phone calls or the phone would still vibrate/ring after i'd answered it.

as far as kernel goes, older roms such as 2.1 are better on the older kernel, and newer roms such as GB will probaby be expecting a newer kernel, and therefore run better with it. but i'm not sure how stable the lastest venturas/venturax is compare to flykernel.

anyway, I am rambling.

in short, i think the older roms 2.1/2.2 are the only solid and speedy roms we have, GB is still a bit too slow.

(shame that the least developed roms currently are the 2.2, espcailly the 2.2 sense roms)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saj222:
Flykernel and cm6.2 cm6.1 ftw, seriously.

I've been alternating between floyo and froydvillain for a while. Froyd is slightly more smoother imo.

And then I put bharat's FroYo port on. It has been VERY good so far. There is even a great ICS theme for it by habarug. Check it out with flykernel.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saj222:
How's it working for you?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notea:
it's working alright, i do occationally get a force close though.

i'm not sure how the other froyo roms are set up, but this one comes with dithering off, which could explain why it feels snappier (slows down a bit if i turn on the dithering)

finding several apps to do the job of sense is pretty hard though =/ fast dialers on the hero are few and far between.

doubt i'll change it any time soon, unless i break something or chocolatefroyo gets it's carmera fixed.

good rom, not sure how different the froyo roms are though (i have no idea what happpened between cm 6.1.3 and 6.2.0)

anyway this is a little off topic now.

it was my understanding that there was only cm6.1 and cm7.1?

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#HTC_Hero_.28GSM.29

for the record my current situation is running cm6.1 with flykernel 13, and using setcpu to overclock. i would say it it like a racecar compared to my experiences on 7.1

still open to thoughts if anyone wants to continue discussing this. ultimately i just want a rock solid phone that is as snappy as possible, and i get frustrated when trying out roms that have various features that work poorly. as a result i have mostly stuck to CM stable releases.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saj222:
Hmmm, I see your link says otherwise. When I made that statement I was just reading the CM version from the ROM I currently was running. FroydVillain I think. I just re-checked the build.prop and think I got the CM version and the Android OS version mixed together. Whoops. :o

[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
Hi all.

Not sure whether this was the right place to post, but coming from a development perspective, I thought it was fitting. If not, mods - please feel free to move.

This thread is here to bring the currently worked on 3.0 kernel for the Desire to the HD2 developers' attention. There is minimal difference in the Desire hardware when compared to the HD2, and therefore would probably not be a difficult port to perform.

The main benefit of porting this kernel over to the HD2 is the improvement in ICS, namely through Hardware Acceleration. Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, the OP over in the Desire thread seems to think Hardware Acceleration is working.

I'm reaching out to all the HD2 developers to collaborate their efforts in an attempt to port this over to HD2 - it will bring us an even more well-rounded ICS build, extending the already expanded boundaries of our beloved HD2's.

The link to the original thread is here.

The link to the github source code is here.

All credits go to Chaosz-X for the current work on the kernel. I am simply acting as a messenger.

I wish you guys luck, and hopefully it won't take long to get some work going on this!

MrP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jan-willem3:
It is not as easy as you might think. Altough the hardware is the same the radio is completely different because it is from windows mobile. Wich makes most of the work on the ics kernel useless. No and radio's can not be changed easily because they are closed source.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Visentinel:
then how did the desire 2.6.35 kernel get ported ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] KyJelly69:
I thought hardware acceleration was already working in ICS.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
Forgive me for my lack of extensive knowledge in the kernel department, but, considering that quite a few of the currently developed kernels for the HD2 are based on the Desire sources, I would've assumed that what was done before in porting the 2.6.35 kernel, could be adapted to work with this kernel.

Once again, not saying that's right, because I'm basing that conclusion off logical thought, not experience.

My point above exactly. If it's been done before, surely the steps needed to adapt the 3.0 kernel are not far out of reach. The people I think we should be talking to are marc1706, and tytung. I'll pop them a PM when I have a moment.

It's not true Hardware Acceleration - its a hack of sorts. It gives a boost in performance no doubt, but most likely no where near true Hardware Acceleration.

Thanks for the input guys.

MrP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] marc1706:
It might be possible to port the 3.0 kernel to the HD2 but the thread you linked is currently providing a 2.6.35.14 kernel. They are planning on releasing a 3.0 kernel.

In order to get a 100% supported hardware acceleration we will need a 3.0 kernel, since ICS was build for the 3.0 kernel. It's pretty much the same with the glitches in sense 2.1 and 3.x ROMs we had prior to using the desire .35 kernel.
